The Side Effects of Endorphins

Not necessarily the best, but on two occasions I found a considerable amount, of money while running

The first time I found an endorsed check for 626. 00 while running in Beaverton Oregon. I was on my lunch break at work. I spent a considerable amount of time locating the person on the check.

I soon contacted the person and arranged to meet her at her office across town.

Please excuse the use of the expanding past as I found money on various occasions and may get some stories mixed up.

I drove up to her office and was greeted by a receptionist and said I was looking for the person’s name on the check. She walked up to the front desk and we shook hands briefly, and I handed her the check.

She said thank you and quietly went back to work.

On another occasion while running , I found a check for $11,000. That was not the exact amount, but you get the gist. I was living in Lake Oswego, Oregon at the time. I went through the same dog and pony show and finally located the person..

The exchange of the check was fairly similar with a small exception that I had to knock on the neighbors door to confirm the address. The girl who answered the door happened to be in my yoga class.

A story does not need a moral. It’s pretty simple just to do the right thing.
